Sixteen years ago, the world's greatest hero disappeared.
Malcolm King-the only man powerful enough to stand against gods-vanished into another realm, leaving behind a fragile peace and secrets buried deep within history. In his absence, a new order rose: the Guardians, a global force claiming to protect humanity... while quietly deciding who is allowed to exist.
David grew up an orphan. No legacy. No answers. No idea that time itself bends around him.
When David and his friends escape a brutal training camp meant to mold them into weapons, they uncover the truth: the Guardians are not heroes-they are hunters. And David is something they fear above all else.
His power isn't just acceleration.
It's inheritance.
As war ignites between rebels and rulers, David learns that his abilities mirror those of Malcolm King himself-an illegal power thought erased forever. With every fight, every loss, David is forced closer to a truth that will shatter everything he believes about his past, his family, and the cost of becoming a god.
Because Malcolm King didn't just disappear.
He left a successor.
And the world is running out of time.
